HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ)-Police have a unique search underway. They are looking for a man on a scooter that robbed the Rb2 Lounge on the west end of Huntington.

The robbery happened just after 9 Saturday morning.
The video lottery establishment is located on Waverly Road. It's the same business someone robbed back in March. That suspect got away with 11,000 dollars.

The person who robbed the lounge today is described as a tall, slim man wearing a brown jacket. Witnesses tell police he was riding a scooter when he left the parking lot.

If you have any information that can help police they want to hear from you. Just call 911 or Ceredo Police, The Wayne County Sheriff's Department or State Police.

As soon as we get more information we will pass it along to you.

Once again, no comments about being drug related. If it would have been Speedway on 9th Ave, everyone would've been screaming "fry 'em!" "Crack head cant even pay for a car!" But Since he's on the West end, is economically conscience? Whatever! Theft is theft! Someone always gets hurt. That could have been the owner's children's lunch money, or child support payment. You know you cant let that fall behind, Child Support Division will take his left leg if that's late!

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST FUNNIEST STORY I HAVE READ YET. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THEY COULDN'T FIND OR CATCH UP TO A SCOOTER? I AGREE WITH THE HUH? ON THIS PAGE THE TRUE CRIMINALS ARE THE OIL COMPANIES? THAT'S PRETTY SAD WHEN YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SCOOTER TO SAVE GAS TO STEAL MONEY OR GOING TO SEE MORE OF THIS BECAUSE NO ONE WILL PUT A STOP TO RAISING EVERYTHING. GET USED TO IT AMERICA IS FED UP AND SINCE YOU CANNOT MAKE IT WITH TWO JOBS THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO GET IT.

A Scooter. Are you kidding me? I thought the H.P.D Donut Gang could catch a scooter. The Donut Gang never sease to amaze me. These clown could not catch an elephant in two feet of snow. You know the law of average will let a Blind Squirrel find a nut occasionally. But The Donut Gang are not that lucky. One thing for sure the local Donut Shop is safe. Whats next a Gang of robbers escapeing in a Wheelbarrow? LMAO

I hope the poor sap gets away with it ! Sounds like he needs the money . After all no-one got hurt and it is gaming money anyway .

Kathy S, you refer to the "legal robbers" otherwise known as the oil/gas companies...I hope you are referring to OPEC and the speculators that are driving up oil futures on a weak dollar because otherwise, I would tend to believe that you have drank the koolaid. Oil companies employ many people in good paying jobs. Oil companies made approximately 8% profit margin and that money goes to the shareholders that own stock in them. Many pension plans, including many states pension plans have oil stocks in them. Those stocks fund retirements for many people across the nation and here in the tri-state. You speak of the oil companies like it is some evil Mr. Burns running the company and making all the money. It's not the Simpsons.

well at least he's energy conscious or maybe that's why he has to rob places to begin with, he can't afford to own a car due to the "legal robbers" otherwise known as oil/gas companies just call him Speed Racer I guess
